Have been:
- Reading manufacturer site documents for i.MX50 here and getting much better understanding of the chip and how to interact with it.

Need to find out
- What is the exact eMMC chip model in the PW1?
(e.g. PW2 has this chip: 4GB eMMC from SanDisk, model SDIN7DP2-4G...what's in PW1?) Teardowns for PW1 found so far don't show this info.

Next steps:
- connect PW1 to an XP PC with USB 2 and re-try mfgtool using instructions from chip manufacturer to see if detected.
- research a hot air gun
- research a reballing template for PW1 eMMC chip
